Cool find.

Some of the film was developed in reverse... everything was backward, including the curve from the mesa top down to El Rosario... it was a hard left on the old road, not a hard right! :lol:

Here's my video of the 1973 Baja 1000 (filmed east of Ojos Negros, just past where the pavement ended):
